Truth Be Told

What If Ancient Israel Got EXACTLY What They Asked For?


Listen Later

In the book of Ezekiel, Israel contends with God's sense of justice asking "why SHOULDN'T the son die for the sins of the Father?" Their idea of fairness, possibly skewed from a position of desiring vengeance on their enemies, expected consequences AND guilt to pass on from father to son.

God demands, in this section, that they correct their ideas of justice to align with His objective standard. When we do Bible study with a mindset that considers the end from the beginning (as God inspired it to be written), we can ask ourselves the question: "How does this portion of Scripture lead the story closer to the fulfillment of Jesus Christ's life and work?"

By asking this question of this section in Ezekiel; by reading the reality of what was coming in the person of Jesus into the text, we understand why God saw it as such an important mentality to correct in His people.
